What to get Mom from the Amish Country Store: A Midwest Mother's Day Gift Guide
Mother’s Day is just around the corner — and if you’re looking for something more meaningful than a last-minute bouquet, you’ve come to the right place. At our Amish Country Store in Lamoni, Iowa, we believe the best gifts are ones with a story — and soul.
Cedar Trinket Logs – Rustic, Practical, Beautiful
Handcrafted by the Dettweiler family in northern Missouri, our cedar trinket logs are as functional as they are charming. With soft felt-lined drawers, hidden compartments, and the unmistakable scent of fresh cedar, this is the perfect gift for moms who love unique, rustic décor.
Great for: Jewelry, keepsakes, or adding a warm, woodland touch to her space.
Amish Quilts – A Hug in Blanket Form
Nothing says comfort like a hand-stitched Amish quilt. Each one is carefully crafted with traditional patterns and attention to detail that takes weeks (sometimes months!) to complete. It’s more than a gift — it’s an heirloom.
Great for: Cozying up on the couch or passing down to the next generation.
Natural Handmade Lotions & Soaps
Made using time-honored recipes, our Amish lotions and soaps are free from harsh chemicals and full of nourishing oils. With scents like lavender, oatmeal milk & honey, and wild rose, they turn everyday routines into little moments of self-care.
Great for: Spa-day vibes without leaving home.
Gourmet Amish Pantry Staples
Think jams, jellies, pickles, and fresh cheese curds. Our pantry goods are made in small batches and packed with flavor. Pair a few together in a cute basket, and you’ve got the ultimate snack kit for mom.
Great for: Moms who love to cook—or just eat well.
Decorative Barn Quilts – Art for the Porch or Garden
If Mom loves to garden or spruce up the front porch, a hand-painted barn quilt is the perfect statement piece. Ours are made from salvaged barn wood and painted by local artisans, blending tradition with bold style.
Great for: Porch décor, she-sheds, or making the neighbors jealous.
Bonus: Make It Personal
Don’t forget to write a note. Whether you’re visiting the store in person or ordering online, include a heartfelt message with your gift. Tell her why you chose that cedar log, or how the lavender lotion reminded you of her garden.
